    Zildjian has been making great cymbals as long as I can remember. This set sound great. Do wish Zildjian would make registering the cymbals for warranty easier.

    Depending on your budget you may want to go with a more high quality set. The cymbals are a little tinny and almost to bright but if you are starting out these will do the job.

    I bought them and used them for practice and within two weeks the 16 inch crash was completely cracked and dead. Good for the price, but definitely get a protection plan

    I bought a Ludwig kit new inbox from my local guitar center. The cymbals that came with were not terrible, but I knew that zildjian would have better high frequency response and it was definitely a worthy upgrade. The overhead condenser mics that I use, also purchased at guitar center, pick these up very cleanly and I'm extremely happy with the sound quality
